Hands down, one of my favorite holiday traditions is baking cookies with my kids. Growing up, I baked Christmas cookies every year with my mom and grandma, and it’s a tradition I couldn’t wait to pass down. That first year baking with my kids? Total nostalgia overload, with all the warm and fuzzy feelings flooding in!
Baking Christmas cookies isn’t just about the cookies—it’s about creating timeless memories and building a sweet collection of holiday recipes. It’s one of my favorite ways to get kids involved during the holidays.
It’s also a wonderful way for kids to learn new skills and express their creativity. From decorating cookies with festive sprinkles to trying fun flavor combinations, the possibilities are endless. Plus, Christmas cookies make thoughtful gifts for friends, teachers, and family—adding a touch of homemade magic to the holidays. Everyone loves an edible holiday gift! So, whether you’re hosting a family baking day or swapping cookies with friends, these shared moments bring everyone closer together.
